Facebook To “Dispell Political Content” With More Fascist, Fraudulent Censorship

Written by:

Published on: January 29, 2021

Make no mistake, this is not just censorship but fraud.  Many pages have paid good money to not only receive “likes” but also for their content to be shown and now Facebook is saying they are not going to show it.  It’s a clear violation of anti-trust laws.  However, what they don’t get, as well as many politicians, is that you can only push a people so far without them getting lawful remedies before those people take matters into their own hands.  When you have fascists in government working with fascists in business and they are oppressing the people, there will come a point where the people will have enough and they will start going after those “elitists” who are attempting to run everyone’s lives for the sake of money and power.  The latest changes by Facebook are right on cue with this and they are only going to get worse unless those charged with executing the law deal with these criminals.

Mac Slavo has the story.

Mark Zuckerberg took to his own platform (Facebook) on Wednesday to tell users of the social media site’s new “community update.” In a 2,800-word post, which amounts to a promise of censorship, Zuckerberg wrote that it will begin efforts to hide political posts for users’ news feeds.

Zuckerberg said Facebook will begin an effort to hide political posts from users’ news feeds, noting the site is aiming to promote “healthy and positive” interactions. “We’re currently considering steps we could take to reduce the amount of political content in News Feed,” Zuckerberg wrote, adding: “One of the top pieces of feedback we’re hearing from our community right now is that people don’t want politics and fighting to take over their experience.”

The real question is if Zuckerberg will block and shadow ban Joe Biden in the same way he blocked Donald Trump. We’ll see, but this amounts to censorship any way you slice it. If people don’t want political posts in their news feed, it should be up to them to unfollow or simply not click on those posts. But personal responsibility is a thing of the past.

“Civic and political” groups will also face what amount to shadow bans – a practice in which social media platforms limit the reach of certain content, instead of outright deleting it – Zuckerberg said, observing that such pages had been removed from Facebook’s “recommendations” tab ahead of the 2020 presidential election. That policy will now be made permanent. -RT

Likely to avoid the stain of the censorship stigma.

“We’re continuing to fine-tune how this works, but now we plan to keep civic and political groups out of recommendations for the long term, and we plan to expand that policy globally,” Zuckerberg said, describing the move as “a continuation of work… to turn down the temperature and discourage divisive conversations.”

Facebook has been open about shadow banning in the past alluding to the idea that it’s not exactly censorship because there was no outright deletion of the content or page.

Back in 2017, Facebook announced that it had tweaked its algorithm to “reduce the spread of problematic links such as clickbait, sensationalism and misinformation,” an earlier step to rein in verboten content, which it defined only vaguely. Though the company insists it does not moderate posts based on users’ political beliefs, recent years have seen repeat allegations that its policies target conservatives unfairly, including by US lawmakers.  -RT

This should be interesting. Let’s see how Facebook’s users respond to this new policy update.
